London-based folk-pop trio Parts & Spares arrive on our blog with the release of “Scream When You Cry,” a song that traverses the “fear of acting on something, but simultaneously about the regret of not having acted.”
The plucked, muted strings of acoustic guitar are the backbone of the arrangement, delightfully pushing the music forward as swells of ambience sporadically rise and flow across the sonic landscape. The subdued pulse of a kick drum provides the track with a pulse, anchoring “Scream When You Cry” to its gentle foundation.
Throughout the song, prepare to catch a glimpse of absolute perfection, as lead vocalist Frida Jones provides a modern folk performance, cracking into a breathy falsetto at the most delightful moments. This is most evident on the pre-chorus and hook, where listeners will ride an emotional wave that is bound to have them singing along before the track concludes.
As “Scream When You Cry” reaches its final third, a fully-fleshed rhythm is deployed, propelling the song forward and ensuring that every lucky listener remains fully engaged. Decked out with moments of wondrous ebb and flow, this song will have you looking forward to each future release from Parts & Spares, which we hope to be very soon.
